PriorCall keeps every privilege call and production decision your firm has made for a client, across every matter. When the next one opens, the review starts where the last one ended.
Nothing at your firm remembers across matters. You defend the same carrier in dozens of matters a year. Same custodians, same email threads, same privilege calls. Every new matter, your team reads thousands of documents the firm already coded last quarter, because the review platform starts each matter at zero.
Under carrier flat fees and panel rates, the hours spent reading a document twice are unrecoverable. ABA Opinion 93-379 says you can't bill recycled work anyway, so the redundancy isn't revenue deferred. It's just gone.
Produce an email in one matter that an associate withheld as privileged in another, and you've handed opposing counsel a waiver argument and your malpractice carrier a problem. No system at your firm checks for this, because none of them remember the last matter.
Your documents never move. PriorCall reads the metadata your vendor already exported — never document bodies, never attachments, never text.
Point PriorCall at the DAT, OPT and production logs you already have. It reads them the way your vendor wrote them, sniffs the encoding, and maps the fields. Corrupt rows are quarantined and reported, not crashed on.
Every document is fingerprinted and compared against the client's vault through four deterministic tiers. The same inputs always produce the same match, and no model sits anywhere in the matching path.
When a matter opens, you get what's already been reviewed, the prior call with its rationale attached, and every place your calls disagree. Reviewers spend their hours on what's actually new.
| Category | Legacy eDiscovery platforms | AI review tools | PriorCall |
|---|---|---|---|
| What they remember | One matter at a time. The next one opens at zero. | The statistics inside a model, which are not the calls your lawyers made. | Every decision your firm has made for a client, in every matter. |
| How you pay | By the gigabyte, for as long as you hold the data. The meter never stops. | By the document and by the matter, then again when the next matter opens. | A flat rate for each client vault. Nothing is charged by the gigabyte or by the document stored. |
| What touches your documents | All of it. They hold the corpus. | A model reads every document body. | Metadata, and only metadata. Document bodies never arrive. |
| How matching is decided | Not applicable. | A probability score, which you would then have to explain to a judge. | Deterministic and tiered. Run the same inputs again and you get the same answer. |
| Consistency across matters | Outside what the platform is for. | Decided from scratch on each matter, so the same risk comes back each time. | This is the whole point of the product. Conflicts are audited and reported wherever your calls disagree. |
Month to month after the first year. Cancel whenever you like and export everything in an open format. The memory is yours — we just keep it.
Ninety days, one client vault, one audit. We show you what overlapped and what conflicted, and you keep the report either way.
